This sounds really neat! Is there any documentation as to what needs to be set up at either end for this remote monitoring to actually work? Right now, I can get the watcher interface to run, but it looks like it's trying to find and execute a local copy of md-mx-ctrl...

Skoll Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 3:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mimedefang] MIMEDefang 2.45-BETA-2 is available Hi, MIMEDefang 2.45-BETA-2 is at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1 The main change is a greatly-improved "watch-mimedefang" script. This is a Tcl/Tk script for monitoring a MIMEDefang server. The new version features four graphs showing various aspects of the server: Number of busy slaves at a given instant, average number of busy slaves during a SCAN request, average latency of a SCAN, and average number of messages/second scanned. A disadvantage of the old script was the need to install Tcl/Tk and the X client libraries on your mail server. The new version lets you monitor a remote MIMEDefang installation over an SSH connection; the traffic flowing over the SSH connection is very small. So you can run the rather CPU-intensive watch-mimedefang script on your desktop, and have it monitor your mail server over an SSH connection, without unduly loading the mail server. It's really cool; give it a try! Note that you must install MIMEDefang 2.45-BETA-2 on the mail server, and you must use the watch-mimedefang script from 2.45-BETA-2 for this to work. Complete changelog since 2.44 follows. Regards, David. 2004-07-28 David F. Skoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Version 2.45-BETA-2 released. * Makefile.in: Do not overwrite /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf in install-redhat target * mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Track average latency of scan commands. * watch-mimedefang.in: Huge rewrite. Displays a lot more info about the MIMEDefang server. Can monitor a remote MIMEDefang server over a low-bandwidth SSH connection. * mimedefang.pl.in: Log helpful messages if clamd fails with an error (Tomas Kopal) * md-mx-ctrl.c: Support the "-i" command-line option to read commands from stdin and send results to stdout. Used to support watch-mimedefang's low-bandwidth remote monitoring. 2004-07-23 David F. Skoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Version 2.45-BETA-1 released. * mimedefang-filter.5.in: Clarified description of action_bounce. * mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Added support for keeping "load average" histories so you can see how loaded your system is. * mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Raw 'status' output includes time when multiplexor was first started. * md-mx-ctrl.8.in: Documented new 'load' and 'rawload' commands. * mimedefang.pl.in: Implemented a new set of RBL lookup functions that perform multiple lookups in parallel and allow you to set a timeout (the timeout applies to ALL lookups, not each individual lookup.) These new functions require the Net::DNS module. * md-mx-ctrl.c: Implement 'load' and 'rawload' commands. 2004-07-15 David F. Skoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Version 2.44 RELEASED _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
